Care and Cleaning 41
Cooktop cleaning (cont'd)
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately. Permanent
damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if
not removed immediately.
After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade
scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from
the hot surface. Allow the cooktop to cool. Use the same
method for heavy or burned on soils.
(_ Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use
an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that
have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
Do not use the following on the cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as
metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop,
making it more difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,
ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the
cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they
can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and
cause discoloration.
Figure 76: Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners
Aluminum foil and oven liners
Do not use oven bottom liners or use aluminum foil to
cover the oven racks,
Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom, except as suggested in the manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of elec-
trical shock, or fire.
Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat and air flow needed
to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven.
During self-clean the oven temperature can become hot enough
to melt aluminum cooking utensils or aluminum foil if left in the
oven. This could result in permanent damage to the oven
interior and porcelain finish.
Replacing the oven light
Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before
replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection
against possible broken glass.
The interior oven light bulb is located at the rear oven cavity and
is covered with a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place
whenever the oven is in use (Figure 77).
Replacing the oven interior light bulb:
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the
appliance.
2. Remove interior oven light shield (Figure 77).
3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type 40 Watt Halogen
appliance bulb. Please note: do not allow your fingers to
touch the new bulb when replacing. This will shorten the life
of the new bulb. Use a paper towel to cover the new bulb
when installing.
4. Replace glass interior oven light shield.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the
appliance back in).
6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.
